for love to show

Draw in by charm and the hope to be known

Believed each truth that were lies unknown

Uplifted by each word and gesture of grace

Fell with each genuine smile on his face

Innocent generosity would be her downfall

Naive to the bad that can reside in us all

Trusting in the love that at a time was true

Taking steps forward in all that she knew

Carrying pain and baggage each day

Her tenacity and love got in the way

of the healing that forces us to grow

the healing he needed for his love to show
